You Sent 5.9 Million Meals to Gaza with Human Concern UK

When the world feels like it’s falling apart, it’s easy to feel powerless.
But you didn’t stay on the sidelines. You acted.

You helped push 5.9 million meals into Gaza, through sealed borders, collapsed markets, and endless checkpoints. You told over 300,000 people“You’re not alone.”

And while that’s incredible, the truth is this: the need is still growing. Every meal you send today is another day a family can survive tomorrow.

That’s 58,240 food boxes, each one a lifeline.
Each one tells a family, “Someone sees you, even here.”

In a place where grocery stores are empty and movement is restricted, your gift is more than food. It is a reason to keep going.

But how does aid get in when Gaza’s borders are sealed and markets have collapsed? How is your compassion reaching them? Let’s break it down.

The Crisis on the Ground – Hunger Isn’t Just a Statistic

By May 2025, Gaza had crossed into catastrophic territory.

  • 1.4 million people faced severe food insecurity.
  • 133,000 were living in IPC Phase 5, the final phase before famine.
  • Tens of thousands of them were children under five.


Food insecurity here isn’t just skipping meals. It means:

  • Weakened immune systems.
  • Pregnant women are losing strength.
  • Children are not growing, learning, or surviving.


With farms, bakeries, corner shops, and water systems destroyed, it is not that food is expensive. There is no food to buy.

Markets are inaccessible. Roads are crumbled. Movement is restricted. 

Still, people hold on. Still, they hope. Still, they survive.
But survival should not be left to chance.

That’s where you come in.
And that’s why we need to keep going.

Human Concern UK's Emergency Food Relief – A Plan with Purpose

In response to this worsening crisis, Human Concern UK launched a large-scale emergency food aid program in Gaza.

And it is not symbolic. It is massive.

Your support has made this possible:

  • 5,940,480 meals distributed to sustain over 300,000 people, including displaced familiesorphans, and persons with disabilities.
  • 58,240 food boxes, carefully packed for 30 days of use.
  • 3,900 flour packs to help families bake fresh bread, one of the few remaining comforts.
  • 28 aid trucks, navigating one of the tightest humanitarian corridors in the world

 

This isn’t just logistics. It’s a strategy. Every number is a calculated response to real suffering. Every box is a lifeline. In a place where everything is restricted, every delivery matters.

Why 30 Days of Food Makes a Real Difference

You might wonder, Why a month’s worth? Why not hand out meals daily?
Because emergency response is not only about relief. It is about restoring dignity.

When a family receives food that lasts weeks instead of hours, they regain the ability to plan, to cook, and to serve meals to their children like they used to.
It reduces stress. It prevents dangerous overcrowding at distribution points. It gives families breathing space to grieve, to recover, and to survive.

Each box is designed not only for nutrition but for cultural relevance, cooking ease, and family cohesion.

Who We Reach and Why It Matters

In Gaza, almost everyone is suffering. But our aid prioritises:

  • Women-led households who have lost husbands, fathers, brothers and sons.
  • Orphans, many of whom are now heads of households.
  • Persons with disabilities, who are often left out or unable to reach aid centers.


In moments like these, inclusion matters. Every community has people who are overlooked. We aim to reach them first.

At the same time, the Human Concern UK’s team works tirelessly to deliver aid wherever access is possible. If there is a door open, even slightly, we’ll find it. And we’ll walk through with food in hand.

From You to Gaza – How It Moves

So how exactly do we move nearly 6 million meals into a war-torn region?

Step 1 – You Donate

Every donation fuels this process. $1 = 1 meal. Simple, powerful, and efficient.

Step 2 – We Source Strategically

Our food is procured from vetted vendors in Jerusalem, ensuring quality, local proximity, and speed. We also source through Lebanon, using the Cyprus Maritime Humanitarian Corridor, a secure shipping route recognized by global aid authorities. This two-pronged approach reduces risk, increases volume, and gives us flexibility when border permissions change.

Step 3 – Convoy Deployment

It takes 28 trucks, dozens of approvals, and countless checkpoints. Aid enters Gaza mainly through the Kerem Shalom crossing, timed within humanitarian access windows.

Step 4 – Distribution on the Ground

Local partners and distribution teams deliver quickly to registered families, prioritizing shelters, refugee camps, and isolated communities. Our registration platform is built on vulnerability indicators, so we know exactly who needs the most help.

Step 5 – Real-Time Feedback and Impact

We stay connected with families, collecting feedback on what worked and what they need next. We compile robust impact data to ensure every dollar is used effectively.

It’s Not Just Food. It’s Hope.

You are not only sending calories. You are sending hope.

In Gaza, hope is fuel. It keeps people moving, fighting to live, and dreaming of normal days.
